FYI - pool operators and *nix users - don't upgrade to the latest openSSL before compiling your coind.  There is a problem with openSSL 1.0.0p / 1.0.1k that could cause trouble with coin block chains.

This is not a problem with the Windows binaries, as those packages are manually installed at build time, and the windows packages/dependencies are statically linked.  Windows wallets are built with the exact packages we specify at build time.  For example:  The current wallet, 9.1.1/09.01.01 uses openSSL 1.0.1g, which fixed the Heartbleed security bug.

Linux users:  Earlier versions of openSSL can be found here:
https://www.openssl.org/source/old/1.0.1/
Don't use 1.0.1e or f as they suffer from the Heartbleed bug.  Any of the rest - from 1.0.1g through 1.0.1j - are recommended.

Thanks for the info!
